Washington athletes sentenced Rebecca Merritt CVffgon Oarfy £ m»rata Thrwt former University of Washington athlete* were sentenced Thursday for sexually abusing a University student at the University Inn last year Charles Douglas Barnes. 21. f’rentiss l-avell Perkins, 22. and Jason Paul Shelley. 20. were each sentenced to 120 davs in prison. 100 days sus pended, and 24 months probation by ljma County Circuit Judge David Brewer The three were convicted on two counts of third-degree sexual abuse, a class A misdemeanor, according to court documents. They were found not guilty of a first-degree burglary charge and another count of sexual abuse. The charges stem from an Oct. 31. 1993. inci dent. when the three men entered a University Inn room belonging to two lft-year-old female stu dents. The women accused the men of exposing themselves, touching their breasts and making unwelcome sexual remarks The men stood trial for three counts of first degree sexual abuse and one count of burglary before a 12-person jury last March. At the week long trial, Barnes admitted he stole a gold necklace from the women and that he and his two friends were looking for marijuana at the residence. How ever, Barnes and defense attorneys for Perkins and Shelley denied any sexual misconduct. The jury convicted the men of the lesser, third decree sexual abuse charge but daimetf a mistrial on the remaining counts. Brewer announced his verdict on the remaining charges Thursday. A femalo victim, who testified in March that she thought the men would rape her. was in Fugene for the sentencing. She quit attending the Univer sity following the incident. "No. 1 don’t think the sentence was fair," she said. "It doesn't reflect the nature of the crime ” The victim faced grueling hours of questioning, sometimes breaking down in tears, at the March trial. "The defense attorneys made us out to be the bad ones, It was as if the athletes were being pro tected and we weren't." she said. Barnes and Shelley were members of the Wash ington footlwll team at the time of the incident and I’erkins was the starting point of the Husky bas ketball team. Perkins is now a mom tier of the men's basketball team at Concordia University in St. Paul. Min nesota The men received credit for jail time served before their sentencing Shelley completed his sen tence, Perkins reports to lane County jail in July to serve 14 days., and Barnes will serve four days beginning in June.

Rau said. The University would then be required to respond in writing as to whether they agree nr disagree If the University does not agree to waive tho technology fee for GTT's. the two groups may eventually submit the issue lo binding arbitration, in which an arbitrator would hoar both aides and make a decision Doth sides would bo required by law to follow the decision made by tbe arbitrator. A written explanation of the technology fee, available to students in Oregon Hall, said the fee is in response to the University Academic Pro ductivity Plan, which calls for “increased use of technol ogy in instructional activi ties " The foe, according to the explanation, allows all stu dents to use the computer lab, have Internet access accounts, provide expanded computer access in the Knight Library and equip a “high-technology classroom.” While the union is protest ing the assessment of the fee for GTFa. the union is not "taking a position for or against the foe in general."
